On the deck of one of the Sea King's fleets, the general stopped using a spyglass, his face pale and frightened.
He saw a thing he never expected to see.
"General, what did you see?" A crewmate asked. "Did you see the boss?"
"W-we..." The general panted heavily and put the spyglass away. "R-retreat, immediately!"
The crew looked stunned.
"Why? Is the boss alright?"
"The Sea King is..." The general blew air into his lungs and then shouted. "Dead!"
It was so silent that even the sound of their own breathing could be heard.
The crew looked at each other and managed to see their shock in the eyes of others. It was an unprecedented thing. They never expected to hear one of Pirate Kings die.
Let alone their boss, who was as strong as a mountain!
"G-general, what will we do?"
